LOVE AND MARRIAGE 6
HUMAN LOVE
Marriage, is not the effect of chance -
or the result of the blind evolution of natural forces.
- The couple freely enter into this like a contract.
It is not, merely a question of natural instinct or emotional drive.
It is above all, an act of the free will, whose trust is such
that it is meant not only to survive the joys and sorrows of daily life,
but also to grow, so that husband and wife become in a way one heart
and one soul, and together attain their human fulfillment.
This love is destined to help the couple
realize themselves in life more completely
HUMAN LOVE - has certain characteristics
It is love for a PERSON in their uniqueness;
their temperament, character,
virtues and vices,
circumstances and background,
education and culture.
Both are unique and irrepetible
Their relationship and
union is also UNIQUE.
No two relationships
are the same –
Each couple will form
a unique family -
the childen with their own characters,
and order and sex, make infinite
possible combinations that give
a UNIQUE quality to all families.
It is a love which is TOTAL.
It is love for the totality of the other person,
in their completeness with the totality of my person
that very special form of personal friendship in which husband
and wife GENEROUSLY SHARE everything, allowing no unreasonable
exceptions and not thinking solely of their own convenience.
Whoever really loves his spouse
loves not only for what he receives,
but loves that partner for the partner's own sake,
content to be able to enrich the other with the gift of oneself
The acceptance of this commitment is FOREVER
Married love is also faithful and this until death.
It means committing yourself to this
individual in his/her entirety
which means as long
as they last in this life.
Therefore true love is FOREVER.
We cannot imagine marriage for a year or two,
putting limits on love as in the so called “trial marriage”
FAITHFUL AND EXCLUSIVE
It is not posible to give marital type love to more than one personBecause of it’s total and intímate nature (psychological, affective, passionate)
The love of a married couple is particular and special, just between them
And it cannot be duplicated or repeated with another
This is how husband and wife understand it on the day on which,
fully aware of what they are doing,
they freely vow themselves to one another in marriage.
Though this fidelity of husband and wife sometimes presents difficulties,
no one has the right to assert that it is impossible;
It is, on the contrary, always honorable and meritorious.
The example of countless married couples proves not only
that fidelity is in accord with the nature of marriage, but also
that it is the source of profound and enduring happiness.
Marriage is a natural institution, inscribed in the physical,
biological and psychological nature of man
Husband and wife, through that mutual gift of themselves,
which is specific and exclusive to them alone, develop that union
of two persons in which they perfect one another,
Fecund or fruitful
It is not confined
wholly to the loving
interchange of
husband and wife;
it also contrives
to go beyond this
to bring new life
into being.
and they participate in the natural laws of generation of new lives.
And in the social function of rearing these their children
This love is above all fully HUMAN,
a compound of SENSE and SPIRIT

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you,
FOREVER
